What an interesting place to visit. It was super quiet and tranquil on Sunday morning. It helped that I was the only person there! Many of the plaques by each statue are bleached by the sun, and they really just tell you who is the owner(donor?) of each. Google translate camera did a pretty good job of helping with translating the signs. There is parking inside the gate so you don't have to use the street.
Amazing statues and stories in here. Also a quiet and peaceful place to breath. The main entrance was blocked but another door was open little way down the road.
It is built in a very large area. It was a peaceful and quieter place. Construction is in progress. However, it isn't a hindrance to visit.
A cool place to wander about and see cool sculptures. It seemed like there wasn't much going on the particular day I went. No services were happening and most folks were staying out of the heat. I took a stroll ad took photos of the various sculptures. Spent maybe 20 minutes. A fun quick thing to do if visiting Stockton
Very small place with lots of Buddhist statues. They're all very pretty and kept up nice. Entry is free. It would have been a lot better if they had the placards in english also. So I could learn about each statue and their meaning. The ones that were fountains didn't have water. This is a self guided tour that takes 15-20 minutes. There were no staff when i was there. It was very empty with no other visitors. The place is located in the middle of a home area. The GPS is right. It does take you to the wrong entrance though, just follow the signs that lead you to the right one; it's very close from the other. There are public bathrooms. Also has a turtle pond.
